Abstract

Knowledge of variations of lobar pattern of lung is important for identification of bronchopulmonary segments. It is of great clinical significance for surgeons and radiologists. Normally the right lung has two fissures, one oblique and one horizontal and three lobes, upper, middle and lower lobes. Many authors have described the lobar variations on imaging techniques but a few studies have reported in gross anatomy. The present case highlights an abnormal lingual lobe of the right lung which was detected incidentally during the undergraduate dissection. Also it highlights the abnormal pattern of oblique and horizontal fissures.
